Easy Crockpot Meatloaf

Crockpot Easy Meatloaf is a great comfort dinner recipe and you can prepare this ahead of time as a freezer meal. This easy crockpot recipe has very few ingredients in the meatloaf, but do not let that alarm you as it is full of great taste! This was super easy to prep as a freezer meal, took less than 10 minutes.

The day I made it, I simply took it from the freezer to the crockpot! It is that easy folks. Just put it in the crockpot and pour some ketchup or BBQ sauce over the top. You can also add a little brown sugar on top too. Put the lid on and let it cook away for at least 8 hours. This easy crockpot meatloaf recipe will be a part of our monthly menu from now on.

If you are not preparing this as a freezer meal we suggest cooking it for 4-5 hours and checking it though we have only made it as a freezer meal. You can line your slow cooker with foil before placing your frozen meatloaf in the crockpot to help the grease drain. We have a free shopping list for you for this recipe! It includes a list for a single, double, triple or x10. We hope it makes your shopping easy!

Love this meatloaf recipe. It is easy to make and a great idea for supper when working all day. I used my special ketchup recipe on top thou. Ketchup, brown sugar, little hickory smoke and garlic powder. Thanks for sharing it with me.

We just moved in to our house and the 1950s oven does not work. With all the other renovations we need to do right away we aren’t able to replace the oven right now. So I gave this recipe a try. I am so glad I did! My husband says it is better than my regular go to meatloaf! We will definitely be using this recipe again! Thanks so much!

Hi there! Do you add the ketchup to the mixture before it gets frozen or only when you put it in the crockpot? Or do you put ketchup in before it gets frozen AND when you put it in the crockpot? Thanks!

Melissa, You have gone and done it again girl. Thanks for making my life easier with this nice meatloaf that makes my family go crazy. It’s a homemade favorite with my busy family.
What more can I tell you but a hug and a big thank you for sharing.

Thanks!!! This one totally scored me a few “awesome mom” points! My 6 year old told me it was “totally delicious”! And my husband walked in the door seen a meatloaf on the table and turned around to walk back out and read the address cause he thought he had the wrong house! Meatloaf was previously not on our menu, with four kids from 2-7 I didn’t have that kind of meal prep time. But this crock pot version is AMAZINGLY EASY AND DELICIOUS as my 6 year old stated!!

Is there any chance if you know if I can make this recipe without the egg? My 4 year old is deathly allergic to eggs, my mother-in-law found a recipe that calls for eggs but she removed them and it still works but I’m not sure if all recipes work like that.

Will this recipe still work if my meat is already frozen, and I throw the remaining ingredients with the frozen meat into the bag? Perhaps I should let it all thaw the night before, then mix it all together, prior to cooking? Your suggestions please and thanks

This might sound like a dumb question but I’m new to all of this freeze to crockpot meals. You said to put the meat loaf directly into the crockpot frozen. Is it easy to get out of the bag if it’s still frozen? Thanks for your help!
